[本發明所欲解決的問題][Problems to be Solved by the Invention]
本發明之技術,維持夾設有傳熱片的邊緣環與基板支持台之間的熱傳遞性,並改善傳熱片之從基板支持台的剝離性。 [解決問題之技術手段]The technology of the present invention maintains the heat transfer property between the edge ring sandwiching the heat transfer sheet and the substrate support, and improves the peelability of the heat transfer sheet from the substrate support. [Technical means to solve the problem]
本發明的一態樣為一種基板支持台,具備:基板載置面,載置基板;環載置面,載置邊緣環,該邊緣環配置成包圍著載置於該基板載置面之基板;以及電極,用於以靜電力將該邊緣環吸附保持於該環載置面。該邊緣環,在和該環載置面相對向的面貼附傳熱片,隔著該傳熱片,載置於該環載置面;於該傳熱片,在和該環載置面相對向的面,形成導電膜;該邊緣環,藉由以該電極形成之靜電力,將貼附在該邊緣環之該傳熱片的該導電膜吸附,藉以保持於該環載置面。 [本發明之效果]One aspect of the present invention is a substrate support table including: a substrate placement surface on which a substrate is placed; and a ring placement surface on which an edge ring is placed, the edge ring being arranged so as to surround the substrate placed on the substrate placement surface and electrodes for attracting and holding the edge ring on the ring mounting surface by electrostatic force. The edge ring has a heat transfer sheet attached to the surface opposite to the ring mounting surface, and is mounted on the ring mounting surface with the heat transfer sheet interposed therebetween; and the heat transfer sheet is placed on the ring mounting surface. A conductive film is formed on the opposite surface; the edge ring is held on the ring mounting surface by attracting the conductive film attached to the heat transfer sheet of the edge ring by the electrostatic force formed by the electrode. [Effects of the present invention]
依本發明,可維持夾設有傳熱片的邊緣環與基板支持台之間的熱傳遞性,並改善傳熱片之從基板支持台的剝離性。According to the present invention, the heat transfer property between the edge ring with the heat transfer sheet sandwiched therebetween and the substrate support table can be maintained, and the peelability of the heat transfer sheet from the substrate support table can be improved.
在半導體元件等之製程中,使用電漿,對半導體晶圓(下稱「晶圓」)等基板,施行蝕刻或成膜等電漿處理。電漿處理,以將晶圓載置於處理容器內之基板支持台,將處理容器內減壓的狀態下施行。In the process of manufacturing semiconductor devices, etc., plasma is used to perform plasma processing such as etching or film formation on substrates such as semiconductor wafers (hereinafter referred to as "wafers"). Plasma processing is performed in a state where the wafer is placed on a substrate support in the processing vessel and the inside of the processing vessel is depressurized.
此外,電漿處理時,為了在基板的中央部與邊緣部獲得良好且均一之處理結果,而有以包圍基板支持台上之基板的周圍之方式,將邊緣環載置於基板支持台之情形。In addition, during plasma processing, in order to obtain favorable and uniform processing results at the center and edge portions of the substrate, an edge ring may be placed on the substrate support table so as to surround the periphery of the substrate on the substrate support table .
進一步,在電漿處理,基板的溫度控制甚為重要,故藉由溫度調整機構將基板支持台調整溫度,經由該基板支持台而將基板調整為期望之溫度。Furthermore, in plasma processing, the temperature control of the substrate is very important, so the temperature of the substrate support table is adjusted by the temperature adjustment mechanism, and the substrate is adjusted to a desired temperature through the substrate support table.
利用邊緣環之情況,邊緣環之溫度控制亦重要。其理由係因邊緣環受到電漿的影響而其溫度變動,邊緣環之溫度對基板的邊緣部之電漿處理結果造成影響的緣故。因此,亦經由基板支持台,調整邊緣環之溫度。然則,即便將邊緣環與基板支持台予以鏡面精加工,於其表面仍存在粗糙度,此外,受到電漿的影響,邊緣環及基板支持台膨脹,因而在邊緣環與基板支持台之間形成微小的空間。因此,僅單純將邊緣環載置於基板支持台之情況,在將處理容器室內減壓時,上述空間成為真空斷熱層,邊緣環與基板支持台之間的熱傳遞性不佳,故難以經由基板支持台將邊緣環之溫度調整為期望之溫度。Taking advantage of the case of the edge ring, the temperature control of the edge ring is also important. The reason for this is that the temperature of the edge ring varies due to the influence of the plasma, and the temperature of the edge ring affects the result of the plasma treatment of the edge portion of the substrate. Therefore, the temperature of the edge ring is also adjusted through the substrate support table. However, even if the edge ring and the substrate support table are mirror-finished, there is still roughness on their surface. In addition, due to the influence of the plasma, the edge ring and the substrate support table are expanded, so that the edge ring and the substrate support table are formed between the edge ring and the substrate support table. tiny space. Therefore, in the case of simply placing the edge ring on the substrate support table, when the chamber of the processing chamber is depressurized, the above-mentioned space becomes a vacuum heat insulating layer, and the heat transfer between the edge ring and the substrate support table is not good, so it is difficult to The temperature of the edge ring is adjusted to the desired temperature via the substrate support.
作為與此相應的對策技術,提出於邊緣環與基板支持台之間,配置傳熱片的技術(參考專利文獻1)。尤其若傳熱片具有黏著性及伸縮性,則傳熱片與邊緣環之接觸的穩定性、及傳熱片與基板支持台之接觸的穩定性增加,故可改善邊緣環與基板支持台之間的熱傳遞性。As a countermeasure technology for this, a technology of disposing a heat transfer sheet between the edge ring and the substrate support is proposed (refer to Patent Document 1). In particular, if the heat transfer sheet has adhesiveness and flexibility, the stability of the contact between the heat transfer sheet and the edge ring, and the stability of the contact between the heat transfer sheet and the substrate support table are increased, so the relationship between the edge ring and the substrate support table can be improved. heat transfer between.
然而,傳熱片具有黏著性的情況,在操作者為了更換邊緣環而使邊緣環從基板支持台分離時,有傳熱片的一部分殘留在基板支持台之情形。此一現象,如同專利文獻2,亦與利用將邊緣環抬起的升降銷,施行邊緣環之更換的情況相同。若傳熱片殘留在基板支持台,則其去除耗費作業與時間。However, when the heat transfer sheet has adhesiveness, when the operator separates the edge ring from the substrate support table in order to replace the edge ring, a part of the heat transfer sheet may remain on the substrate support table. This phenomenon, like Patent Document 2, is also the same as the case where the edge ring is replaced by using lift pins that lift the edge ring. If the heat transfer sheet remains on the substrate support table, it takes work and time to remove the heat transfer sheet.
另,作為用於改善基板支持台與邊緣環之間的熱傳遞性之技術,亦提出如下技術:將施加用於將邊緣環以靜電力吸附於基板支持台之電壓的電極,設置於基板支持台,並往基板支持台與邊緣環之間的空間,供給傳熱氣體(參考專利文獻3)。 此一技術,在更換邊緣環時,雖無傳熱片殘留在基板支持台的情形,但若往基板支持台與邊緣環之間的空間供給之傳熱氣體的流量大,則致使邊緣環脫落。因此,由於上述傳熱氣體的流量具有限制,故在邊緣環與基板支持台之間的熱傳遞性尚有改善之餘地。例如,近年,為了改善電漿處理的處理結果,電漿之大能量化有所進展,而在使用上述傳熱氣體之技術中,若電漿之能量大,從電漿往邊緣環的入熱大,則難以將邊緣環控制為期望之溫度。In addition, as a technique for improving the heat transfer property between the substrate support table and the edge ring, a technique is also proposed in which an electrode for applying a voltage for electrostatically attracting the edge ring to the substrate support table is provided on the substrate support table. A heat transfer gas is supplied to the space between the substrate support table and the edge ring (refer to Patent Document 3). With this technology, when the edge ring is replaced, although there is no heat transfer sheet remaining on the substrate support table, if the flow rate of the heat transfer gas supplied to the space between the substrate support table and the edge ring is large, the edge ring will fall off. . Therefore, since the flow rate of the above-mentioned heat transfer gas is limited, there is still room for improvement in heat transfer between the edge ring and the substrate support table. For example, in recent years, in order to improve the processing results of plasma processing, there has been progress in increasing the energy of plasma, and in the technology using the above-mentioned heat transfer gas, if the energy of the plasma is large, the heat input from the plasma to the edge ring large, it is difficult to control the edge ring to the desired temperature.
因而,本發明之技術,維持夾設有傳熱片的邊緣環與基板支持台之間的熱傳遞性,並改善傳熱片之從基板支持台的剝離性。Therefore, the technology of the present invention maintains the heat transfer property between the edge ring with the heat transfer sheet sandwiched therebetween and the substrate support, and improves the peelability of the heat transfer sheet from the substrate support.

而後,針對傳熱片T及電壓施加部120予以說明。圖3係顯示傳熱片T的構成之概略的剖面圖。Next, the heat transfer sheet T and the
傳熱片T,係形成為片狀的構件,俯視時之形狀,與邊緣環E同樣地為環狀。具體而言,傳熱片T是外徑的大小為邊緣環E之外徑以下,而內徑的大小為邊緣環E之內徑以上的環狀構件。傳熱片T亦可分割成多數片而以離散方式設置。亦即,亦可為多數片之圓弧狀構件。 此外,傳熱片T,形成為具有高的熱傳導率(例如0.2~5W/m・K)及高的伸縮性。例如,傳熱片T,將耐熱性之有機材料作為基材使用,混入多量的傳熱性填料,使其分散。耐熱性之有機材料,例如為包含矽成分的耐熱性之黏著劑或橡膠。此外,傳熱性填料,例如為粒狀態的氧化鋁。The heat transfer sheet T is a sheet-like member, and the shape of the heat transfer sheet T in a plan view is annular like the edge ring E. Specifically, the heat transfer sheet T is an annular member whose outer diameter is equal to or smaller than the outer diameter of the edge ring E, and whose inner diameter is equal to or larger than the inner diameter of the edge ring E. The heat transfer sheet T may be divided into a plurality of sheets and arranged in a discrete manner. That is, it can also be an arc-shaped member of many pieces. In addition, the heat transfer sheet T is formed to have high thermal conductivity (eg, 0.2 to 5 W/m·K) and high elasticity. For example, in the heat transfer sheet T, a heat-resistant organic material is used as a base material, and a large amount of heat-transfer filler is mixed and dispersed. The heat-resistant organic material is, for example, a heat-resistant adhesive or rubber containing a silicon component. In addition, the heat transfer filler is, for example, alumina in a granular state.
傳熱片T,例如,在往邊緣環E貼附時,凝膠化而具有黏著性,藉由該黏著性(黏著力),往邊緣環E貼附。For example, when the heat transfer sheet T is attached to the edge ring E, it gels to have adhesiveness, and is attached to the edge ring E by the adhesiveness (adhesive force).
進一步,傳熱片T,如圖3所示,在和環載置面104b相對向的面,形成導電膜Ta。Further, as shown in FIG. 3 , the heat transfer sheet T has a conductive film Ta formed on the surface facing the
導電膜Ta,係由金屬材料等導電性材料形成的膜。作為金屬材料,例如為了避免晶圓W及電漿處理腔室100之汙染,而與電漿處理腔室100之材料,具體而言,電漿處理腔室100的側壁或底壁之材料相同,使用鋁(Al)。The conductive film Ta is a film formed of a conductive material such as a metal material. As the metal material, for example, in order to avoid the contamination of the wafer and the
導電膜Ta之對傳熱片T的形成方法,例如為將由金屬材料構成之金屬箔,藉由傳熱片T所具有的黏著性(黏著力)而貼附之方法。亦可藉由濺鍍或蒸鍍形成導電膜Ta。另,導電膜Ta之對傳熱片T的形成,可於傳熱片T的對邊緣環E之貼附前施行,亦可於貼附後施行。
此外,導電膜Ta,其厚度例如為10μm以下之薄層,宜在可形成的範圍形成為最薄。如此地,導電膜Ta薄,故在吸附邊緣環E時等塑性變形,因而不具有在導電膜Ta與環載置面104b之間產生間隙的情形。另,導電膜Ta,宜為傳熱片T的熱傳導率以上的熱傳導率,但若如同上述地減薄,則亦可較傳熱片T的熱傳導率更高。The method of forming the conductive film Ta to the heat transfer sheet T is, for example, a method of attaching a metal foil made of a metal material by the adhesiveness (adhesive force) of the heat transfer sheet T. The conductive film Ta can also be formed by sputtering or vapor deposition. In addition, the formation of the conductive film Ta to the heat transfer sheet T may be performed before the attachment of the heat transfer sheet T to the edge ring E, or may be performed after the attachment.
In addition, the thickness of the conductive film Ta is, for example, a thin layer of 10 μm or less, and is preferably formed to be the thinnest within the range that can be formed. In this way, since the conductive film Ta is thin, it is plastically deformed when the edge ring E is adsorbed, and thus there is no case where a gap is formed between the conductive film Ta and the
貼附有此等傳熱片T的邊緣環E,藉由在電極109與形成於傳熱片T的導電膜Ta之間產生的靜電力,而吸附保持於環載置面104b。The edge ring E to which these heat transfer sheets T are attached is adsorbed and held on the

接著,從氣體供給部130,經由上部電極沖淋頭102而往電漿處理空間100s供給處理氣體。此外,從RF電力供給部140將電漿生成用的高頻電力HF對下部電極103供給,藉此,激發處理氣體,生成電漿。此時,亦可從RF電力供給部140供給離子導入用的高頻電力LF。而後,藉由生成的電漿之作用,對晶圓W施行電漿處理。Next, the processing gas is supplied from the
於結束電漿處理時,停止來自RF電力供給部140的高頻電力HF之供給、及來自氣體供給部130的處理氣體之供給。於電漿處理中,在供給高頻電力LF的情況,亦停止該高頻電力LF之供給。接著,停止來自直流電源121c的直流電壓之供給,停止靜電吸盤104所進行的晶圓W之吸附保持。When the plasma processing ends, the supply of the high-frequency power HF from the RF
其後,藉由升降銷106使晶圓W上升,使晶圓W從靜電吸盤104分離。於此一分離時,亦可施行晶圓W之電性中和處理。而後,將晶圓W從電漿處理腔室100搬出,結束一連串的晶圓處理。After that, the wafer W is lifted up by the lift pins 106 to separate the wafer W from the
另,邊緣環E,於晶圓處理中,以靜電力吸附保持,具體而言,於電漿處理中、電漿處理之前後,皆以靜電力吸附保持。於電漿處理之前後,利用直流電源121a及直流電源121b,對電極109a及電極109b施加彼此不同的電壓,俾於電極109a與電極109b之間產生電位差。藉由和藉此產生的電位差相應之靜電力,將邊緣環E吸附保持。相對於此,於電漿處理中,利用直流電源121a及直流電源121b,對電極109a與電極109b施加相同的電壓(例如相同的正電壓),在通過電漿成為接地電位的邊緣環E,與電極109a及電極109b之間,產生電位差。藉由和藉此產生的電位差相應之靜電力,將邊緣環E吸附保持。另,在藉由靜電力將邊緣環E吸附之期間,升降銷107,呈從靜電吸盤104的環載置面104b縮入之狀態。In addition, the edge ring E is adsorbed and held by electrostatic force during the wafer processing. Specifically, the edge ring E is adsorbed and held by electrostatic force during the plasma processing, before and after the plasma processing. Before and after the plasma treatment, different voltages are applied to the
而後,針對利用前述電漿處理系統1施行的邊緣環E之往處理模組60內的安裝處理之一例予以說明。另,以下處理,係在控制裝置80所進行的控制之下施行。此外,以下內容中,有將預先與傳熱片T一體化的邊緣環E稱作更換用邊緣環E之情形。在本發明,有將從更換用邊緣環E去除傳熱片T的構件稱作邊緣環本體之情形。Next, an example of the installation process of the edge ring E into the
首先,經由搬出入口(未圖示),往經減壓之電漿處理腔室100內,將保持有更換用邊緣環E的搬運臂71插入,將更換用邊緣環E,往靜電吸盤104的環載置面104b之上方搬運。First, the
接著,施行升降銷107之上升,將更換用邊緣環E從搬運臂71往升降銷107遞送。Next, the lift pins 107 are raised, and the edge ring E for replacement is delivered from the
而後,施行搬運臂71的從電漿處理腔室100之拉出即搬運臂71之退避,以及升降銷107之下降,藉此,將更換用邊緣環E,載置於靜電吸盤104的環載置面104b。Then, the
其後,對設置於靜電吸盤104之邊緣部的電極109,施加來自電壓施加部120之直流電壓,以藉此產生之靜電力,將貼附在更換用邊緣環E之傳熱片T的導電膜Ta吸附於環載置面104b。具體而言,從直流電源121a、121b對電極109a及電極109b施加彼此不同的電壓,藉由和藉此產生的電位差相應之靜電力,將貼附在更換用邊緣環E之傳熱片T的導電膜Ta,吸附保持於環載置面104b。此一結果,將更換用邊緣環E,吸附保持於環載置面104b。至此,結束邊緣環E之一連串的安裝處理。After that, the DC voltage from the
更換用邊緣環E之卸下處理,係以與上述更換用邊緣環E之安裝處理相反的順序施行。卸下更換用邊緣環E時,由於在傳熱片T形成導電膜Ta,在更換用邊緣環E的和環載置面104b之接觸面不具有黏著性,故於藉由升降銷107使更換用邊緣環E上升時,不具有傳熱片T殘留在環載置面104b之情形。
另,卸下更換用邊緣環E時,亦可於施行更換用邊緣環E之清洗處理後,將邊緣環E從電漿處理腔室100搬出。The removal process of the replacement edge ring E is performed in the reverse order of the installation process of the replacement edge ring E described above. When the replacement edge ring E is removed, since the conductive film Ta is formed on the heat transfer sheet T, the contact surface between the replacement edge ring E and the
此外,於更換用邊緣環E之安裝或卸下時,將在前開式晶圓盒31b與更換對象的處理模組60之間的更換用邊緣環E之搬運,與前述晶圓處理時之在前開式晶圓盒31a與處理模組60之間的晶圓W之搬運同樣地施行。In addition, when the replacement edge ring E is attached or detached, the transfer of the replacement edge ring E between the front-opening
如同上述,本實施形態之晶圓支持台101,具備:晶圓載置面104a,載置晶圓W;環載置面104b,載置邊緣環E,邊緣環E配置成包圍著載置於晶圓載置面104a之晶圓W;以及電極109,用於將邊緣環E以靜電力吸附保持於環載置面104b。此外,邊緣環E,在和環載置面104b相對向的面貼附傳熱片T,隔著該傳熱片T,載置於環載置面104b。此外,傳熱片T,在和環載置面104b相對向的面,形成導電膜Ta。因此,傳熱片T,僅於邊緣環E側的面具有黏著性,在和環載置面104b的接觸面不具有黏著性,故使邊緣環E從環載置面104b脫離時,傳熱片T亦與邊緣環E一同脫離,無傳熱片T殘留在環載置面104b之情形。此外,在本實施形態,邊緣環E,將貼附在該邊緣環E之傳熱片T的導電膜Ta,藉由以電極109形成之靜電力吸附,藉以保持於晶圓支持台101的環載置面104b。因此,藉由上述靜電力,將導電膜Ta往環載置面104b推壓而變形,故導電膜Ta與環載置面104b無間隙地密接。因此,藉由形成導電膜Ta,而使邊緣環E與晶圓支持台101之間的熱傳遞性不受阻礙。
如此地,依本實施形態,則可維持夾設有傳熱片T的邊緣環E與晶圓支持台101之間的熱傳遞性,並改善傳熱片T之從晶圓支持台101的剝離性。As described above, the wafer support table 101 of the present embodiment includes the
如同前述,使用如專利文獻3所揭露的傳熱氣體時,在從電漿往邊緣環的入熱大之情況,有無法將邊緣環控制為期望之溫度的情形。其理由係因由於邊緣環及晶圓支持台因入熱而大幅膨脹,使兩者間的間隙變大,作用在邊緣環之靜電力減弱,故傳熱氣體漏出,此一結果,使邊緣環與晶圓支持台之間的熱傳遞性降低等。相對於此,本實施形態,並未使用傳熱氣體,即便為邊緣環E及晶圓支持台101因來自電漿的入熱而大幅膨脹之情況,傳熱片T及導電膜Ta仍可追蹤該膨脹。因此,在邊緣環E與晶圓支持台101之間並未形成間隙,故可經由晶圓支持台101將邊緣環E控制為期望之溫度。 作為傳熱氣體,例如使用氦氣,但氦氣價格昂貴。本實施形態,並未使用此等昂貴的氦氣,故可追求成本降低。As described above, when the heat transfer gas disclosed in Patent Document 3 is used, when the heat input from the plasma to the edge ring is large, it may be impossible to control the edge ring to a desired temperature. The reason is that the edge ring and the wafer support table are greatly expanded due to the heat input, so that the gap between the two becomes larger, and the electrostatic force acting on the edge ring is weakened, so the heat transfer gas leaks out. As a result, the edge ring Decreased heat transfer to and from the wafer support table, etc. On the other hand, in this embodiment, no heat transfer gas is used, and even if the edge ring E and the wafer support table 101 are greatly expanded due to the incoming heat from the plasma, the heat transfer sheet T and the conductive film Ta can still be traced The expansion. Therefore, no gap is formed between the edge ring E and the wafer support table 101 , so the edge ring E can be controlled to a desired temperature through the wafer support table 101 . As the heat transfer gas, for example, helium gas is used, but helium gas is expensive. In this embodiment, since such expensive helium gas is not used, cost reduction can be pursued.
此外,依本實施形態,則在利用升降銷107或搬運裝置70更換邊緣環E時,亦無傳熱片殘留在晶圓支持台101的環載置面104b之情形。亦即,依本實施形態,則可不依賴操作者地以自動方式更換邊緣環E。In addition, according to the present embodiment, when the edge ring E is replaced by the lift pins 107 or the conveying
進一步,本實施形態,於環載置面104b,並未形成供給傳熱氣體之氣體供給孔。因此,環載置面104b之對於邊緣環E的接觸面積大,故在邊緣環E與晶圓支持台101之間可獲得高的熱傳遞性。將升降銷107所貫穿之貫通孔117省略,由操作者更換邊緣環E的情況,可進一步增大環載置面104b之對於邊緣環E的接觸面積,故在邊緣環E與晶圓支持台101之間可進一步增高熱傳遞性。Furthermore, in this embodiment, the gas supply hole for supplying the heat transfer gas is not formed in the
此外,本實施形態,利用貼附在邊緣環E之傳熱片T的導電膜Ta,將邊緣環E靜電吸附。因此,作為邊緣環E之材料,可使用石英等絕緣性材料。In addition, in this embodiment, the edge ring E is electrostatically attracted by the conductive film Ta attached to the heat transfer sheet T of the edge ring E. Therefore, as the material of the edge ring E, an insulating material such as quartz can be used.
圖4係用於說明邊緣環之另一例的圖。
圖4的邊緣環E1,在和環載置面104b相對向的面,具有往遠離環載置面104b之方向凹入的凹部E1a。而於該凹部E1a,貼附傳熱片T。
依此構成,使於電漿處理空間100s露出之傳熱片T的側面積減少。因此,可抑制傳熱片T因電漿而受到損傷之情形。FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining another example of the edge ring.
The edge ring E1 of FIG. 4 has the recessed part E1a recessed in the direction away from the
圖5及圖6係用於說明升降銷之另一例的圖。
圖5及圖6的升降銷200、210,於下方具有側視時往上下方向延伸的圓柱狀或角柱狀之柱狀部200a、210a,此外,和邊緣環E之抵接面即上端面的面積,較柱狀部200a、210a之水平剖面的剖面積更大。亦即,升降銷200、210,相較於圖2等所示的升降銷107,將和邊緣環E抵接之上端面(具體而言,和與邊緣環E一體化的傳熱片T抵接之上端面)形成為較大。5 and 6 are diagrams for explaining another example of the lift pins.
The lift pins 200 and 210 of FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 have cylindrical or corner-column-shaped
升降銷200,藉由形成為側視時呈使L字上下相反的形狀,而將上端面形成為較大。升降銷210,藉由形成為側視時呈T字形,而將上端面形成為較大。
如此地,藉由將升降銷200、210的上端面較大地形成,而可防止使升降銷200、210上升時傳熱片T有所損傷的情形。The
另,升降銷之上端部,亦可形成為俯視時其內徑較邊緣環E之內徑更大而其外徑較邊緣環E之外徑更小的圓環狀。In addition, the upper end of the lift pin can also be formed into an annular shape whose inner diameter is larger than the inner diameter of the edge ring E and whose outer diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the edge ring E when viewed from above.
圖7係用於說明邊緣環之另一例的圖。
圖7的邊緣環E2,在和環載置面104b相對向的面之升降銷107所抵接的部分,並未形成傳熱片T及導電膜Ta。
依此構成,則可防止因升降銷107而使傳熱片T及導電膜Ta受到損傷之情形。FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining another example of the edge ring.
In the edge ring E2 of FIG. 7, the heat transfer sheet T and the conductive film Ta are not formed on the portion where the lift pins 107 abut on the surface facing the
